As for hearing your own voice- I can't hear mine, and I use the Labtec mic too. I can only hear myself talking if I basically put the mic in my mouth.

Got in contact with Astro 

I think I know what I'm doing now, so I am going to get the parts I need.

The chat lead needs to be custom made, there is a thread on AVS forum about it but my OpenDNS is blocking it. 

There is a pic here about the same lead.

See reply from Acid to make a new chat lead

Yup, I've just edited the above post with info I found on the Astro gaming website. I just need to find out what that cable is used by Phantom cables is to make a new 2.5 mm male to male chat lead. 

I'm curious as to why people are using microphone braided cable when doing there modifications, is there a reason for this?
